  My Samsung still has the fingerprint reader in the power button. Works 10x better than the behind-screen fingerprint readers.

    I miss my Pixel 1, which had a fingerprint reader on the back that I could easily touch with my index finger, and which was able to respond to up- and down-swipe gestures. For example, to open or close the notification shade.

      I’m picturing it and it sounds like that would be asking for an rsi, but maybe in but picturing it correctly

        The fingerprint reader sat right in the middle of the back horizontally, and maybe one third from the top. Right where your index finger naturally rests if you grip it with your thumb on one side and fingers 3–5 on the other.

      Pixel 2 xl same… Was so great, then I jumped to a note 10+… can’t use it as it’s on the screen now. It’s terrible design.

  I think capacitive ones were too good tbh. Kept accidentally unlocking my phone in my pocket. I’ve assigned the screen one to my thumb, with always on display on, unlocking feels natural. I also find it works better with wet hands, which capacitive was absolutely hopeless at.

    I’m on a refurb Samsung A5 and fingerprint scanner still works great. Just have to wipe it with thumb real quick

  At least it’s not as bad as the one in your power button. That shit doesn’t work 30% of the time.

    Honestly, I’ll take having to try a few times until it works than being blasted by maximum brightness if I dare touch the phone wrong when waking up in the middle of the night.

  My oneplus has been wonder full with the screen scanner to be honest. I love that it’s behind the screen.

  I had multiple phones with a dedicated fingerprint scanner and never used any of them.

  That’s one thing I personally don’t miss at all.
